John, after reading your first few comments, I went through this thread to find out if you were interested in actually adding something to this conversation, or if the sum total of your contribution consisted of nothing more than insults and ad hominem attacks. Unfortunately, it turns out to be the latter. So why don’t you sit down, get out a dictionary, and explain your adamant opposition to Trump?
My reason for supporting him is simple. I believe he’s the only one running not already in someone else’s back pocket. His refusal to take money from big donors means he’s beholden to no one. And, as I said at an earlier post, he’s not motivated by a sense of nobility or ideological purity. Simply put, he’s a businessman and a pragmatist, and I believe he realizes our present system of crony capitalism will eventually collapse, and that he has FAR more to lose than the rest of us. It’s not about nobility or self-sacrifice, just simple self-survival.
I’ve explained my basic reasons for supporting Mr. Trump. Now why don’t you, as clearly as you can, explain to the rest of us your reasons for opposing him, and if it’s possible, devoid of those same pejoratives that cluttered your previous posts?
BTW, I will support whomever the Republican voters choose to lead the party for the Presidency. I also pledge to never cast another (R) if the nomination is stolen from the people’s choice by a manipulated convention.
If one day you find yourself drowning and someone throws you a life preserver, will you first ask if your savior is sufficiently conservative for you to accept his help, or are you just going to grab for it?
sure. he’s a lifelong liberal. I’m supremely confident that he will govern as one. I don’t need to know any more than that.
